LANDOVER, Md. — As Kirk Cousins ran toward the home locker room, he pointed toward a local TV reporter and screamed: “You like that?! You like that?!”

Forgive Cousins’ exuberance.

He certainly had plenty to be excited about.

After a week of chatter about whether he would remain the starting quarterback for the Washington Redskins — and about whether coach Jay Gruden was more forgiving about errors by this QB than those by Robert Griffin III — and then a half of mediocre play and plenty of boos from the home fans Sunday, Cousins played brilliantly for two quarters.

His third touchdown pass of the second half, a 6-yarder to tight end Jordan Reed with 24 seconds left, completed the largest comeback in Redskins history, erasing a 24-point deficit for a 31-30 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“I mean, I just get really fired up after we win, that’s all it is, just fired up,” Cousins told the Washington Post. “I can get more fired up, but I try to stay composed. But yeah man, it was just good.”

Asked about all the jeers from spectators, Cousins said: “You certainly don’t want to hear ’em. They paid for their ticket; they can do what they want. But I heard cheers at the end, and that’s all that matters.”

He finished 33 for 40 for 317 yards, the trio of scores and zero interceptions. He also ran for an 8-yard touchdown in the second quarter for the first points for the Redskins (3-4), making it 24-7 after two quarters.

“It was a good lesson: Just keep playing and you never know what can happen,” Cousins said.
